AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing tourniquets are not readily available for immediate use on clothing or uniforms, requiring unpacking and installation, which delays critical bleeding control during injuries or amputations.

Method used

A stationary hemostatic tourniquet is integrated into clothing or military uniforms, allowing for immediate activation by pulling a protruding tape for rapid bleeding control, with optional manual or automatic tightening mechanisms.

Benefits of technology

Enables immediate and independent self-care for bleeding control in emergencies, reducing the risk of blood loss and associated complications.

Abstract

The invention relates to medicine, and more particularly to an integral tourniquet provided on clothing or on a military uniform at points along arterial paths. Situated on an end of the integral tourniquet is an end of a protruding tape, which must be pulled sharply to tighten the tourniquet and stop the blood flow and is subsequently fastened automatically or manually. Integral tourniquets may be made of any suitable materials. For more effective operation and to reduce friction during use, the integral tourniquet must be disposed in a protective casing or in insulation made of a dense fabric to protect the tourniquet installed on clothing or a military uniform against contact with the outside environment. The additional protection is necessary to prevent damage, as well as to permit unimpaired tightening and fastening when deployed. The invention permits emergency cessation of venous and arterial bleeding in the event of injury, a wound, or limb amputation.

Description

Stationary hemostatic tourniquet

[0001] This invention relates to medicine, namely to disaster medicine, military medicine, surgery, and can be used to temporarily stop or reduce bleeding from an injured limb or from a limb during surgery.

[0002]

[0003] There are no analogues of a stationary hemostatic tourniquet.

[0004] The closest in technical essence to the claimed device is invention No. 2016209195 HEMOSTATIC TOURNIQUET used to stop vascular (venous and arterial) bleeding, to provide first aid. The disadvantage of the tourniquet-tourniquet device is that this design is not located on the clothes or uniform of a serviceman and cannot be used urgently at the time of injury and amputation of a limb, in addition, the tourniquet-tourniquet must be unpacked, taken out, installed on the limb, and fixed before use. A stationary hemostatic tourniquet solves the problem of providing emergency assistance to a person immediately and independently, since it is already installed, sewn or sewn into the clothes or uniform of a serviceman, it is enough to pull the end of the protruding tape, fixation and stopping of bleeding from compression of the circulatory system at the point of tourniquet fixation will occur.In case of loss of all limbs, the tightening of a permanent hemostatic tourniquet can be done using a jaw device; the edge of the protruding tape is provided for this purpose.

[0005]

[0006] The invention is a stationary hemostatic tourniquet, like a tourniquet or clamp, which is placed on clothing or a military uniform and is located in places where blood arteries pass, and has a fixation system around a person's limb when used. At the end of the stationary hemostatic tourniquet there is an end of a protruding tape, which must be pulled sharply to tighten the tourniquet and stop bleeding with subsequent automatic or manual fixation.

[0007]

[0008] In everyday life or combat, a person can be injured or have a limb amputated. If immediate medical care is not provided in time, a minor injury can become moderate, and a moderate injury can become severe, which is usually followed by a coma. If a person is injured or bruises are found on a limb, it is necessary to immediately stop the bleeding, otherwise loss of consciousness from blood loss, coma and death are inevitable. While a person who has been injured or has had a limb amputated is conscious, he can independently provide himself with emergency care. For this purpose, it is proposed to provide for the placement of stationary hemostatic tourniquets on the clothing or uniform of a serviceman. The installation and use of a stationary hemostatic tourniquet is possible both in the everyday life of the civilian population and of military personnel who are on duty or participating in active combat operations.

[0009]

[0010] The invention of a stationary hemostatic tourniquet is a tourniquet or tourniquet installed, sewn or sewn permanently onto a military uniform or clothing, tightening the limb by twisting, by pulling the end of which a free tightening around the human limb and fixation of the tourniquet occurs. Figures 1 and 2 show an example of placing stationary hemostatic tourniquets sewn or secured in any convenient way on the surface or inside of the fabric of jacket sleeves or a military uniform. For emergency use, it is necessary to pull the end, the tourniquet will tighten around the limb. The number of stationary hemostatic tourniquets can be any, as well as the angle of inclination of placement. Figures 3 and 4 show an example of placing stationary hemostatic tourniquets sewn or secured in any convenient way on the surface or inside of the fabric of the trouser leg or a military uniform.For emergency use, pull the end, the tourniquet will tighten around the limb. The number of stationary tourniquets can be any, as well as the angle of placement. Stationary tourniquets can be manual - fixation is performed by a person by pulling the end of the protruding tape, or electromechanical - the tourniquet tightens automatically upon receiving a signal or pressing a button and bringing the mechanical drive into action. Stationary tourniquets can be made of any materials, such as rubber, plastic, fabric, metal and other materials suitable for manufacturing. For more efficient operation and reduced friction during use, a stationary tourniquet must be placed in a protective casing or insulation made of dense fabric so that the tourniquet installed on clothing or a military uniform is protected from contact with the environment.Additional protection is necessary to avoid damage and also ensures free tightening and fixation in case of use.

[0011]

[0012] The novelty of the invention is the permanent placement of hemostatic tourniquets on the clothing or uniform of a serviceman, as well as immediate readiness for use in an emergency to stop venous and arterial bleeding in the event of injury or amputation of a limb.

[0013]

Claims
